On the cliff above Ten Thousand Snake Cave, Shen/Chang Qi and Ao Qing stood side by side, watching Wuxu's gradually blurring figure standing on the bow of the ship, and then facing the northeast, staring silently for a long time, and then said in a deep voice, " Everyone in the East Sea Demon Alliance must die!" The voice was low and somewhat hoarse, and seemed to be an indignant statement.
But Ao Qing, who was next to him, immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness, would you like Ao Qing to summon the Dragon Palace navy to slaughter all the thirty-six islands of the East Sea Demon Alliance?"
"No need!" Shen/Chang Qi's eyes were dim, as if he was caught up in the memories of the past. He put his hands behind his back and looked at the endless sea, and said coldly, "I want to personally smash the people of the East Sea Demon Alliance into pieces one by one. The body will be cut into pieces; then go to Lushan Mountain and find an end to the three old men, Zhao Haoran, Lu Zixu, and Luo Guiyi!"
"That's fine. Ao Qing has reported to His Majesty what happened to His Highness. Your Majesty has now led the three great Dharma-protecting dragons, as well as the abbot of Haiku Temple, the Master of Biyou Palace and others, to the Yin Gang Peak of Mount Lu. He will definitely help His Highness. Revenge." Ao Qing calculated that there were no great monks in East China Sea now, so he nodded, half in agreement and half in relief.
If Wuxu was nearby and heard the conversation between these two people, he would definitely be shocked. When did Shen/Changqi become the His Highness of the East China Sea Dragon Palace?! He was taken over by the third prince of the Dragon King?!
Although this matter was strange and confidential, it was actually reasonable. However, Wuxu was in a hurry to return to the mainland and did not notice some subtleties.
Why was Ao Qing so eager to save an unrelated lowly human monk? And why did a sea of blood disappear overnight? Later, when Wuxu was leaving, he asked about the situation of the third prince of the Dragon King. Ao Qing was evasive and just said There is a wonderful way to return to the Dragon Palace. But Shen/Chang Qi, who was originally devoted to the Tao, suddenly took the initiative and said that he would not follow him and would stay in the East China Sea.
The most important thing is that Shen/Chang Qi is obviously dead, but Ao Qing said that he can still sense a trace of his dead soul. Wuxu did not check it carefully, only thinking that Ao Qing had become a real monk, and there was something unique about him; not to mention that Ao Qing was There was a saying that "there is no greater sorrow than death", and Wuxu thought that he was now affected by the annihilation of the Dharma Realm.
Besides, if the third prince of the Dragon King wants to seize his body, he will naturally go to the Dragon Palace to find a dragon monk or something. Shen/Chang Qi is a useless person now, so why should he seize his body?
Therefore, Wuxu didn't pay much attention and noticed the clues.
At this moment, he transformed into a frail scholar, standing on the bow of the boat, looking at the sparkling golden waves, while thinking about how to secretly contact Pan Ruoxue, Lan Yu and others, how to secretly help Zhao Tong put down the magic knife earlier and follow him to Lushan Mountain .
Returning from the East China Sea this time, Wuxu didn't want to show his traces and show off. Since the Dharma Realm was destroyed, Wuxu had a vague feeling that there were enough causes and effects in the past. To find the great road and realize the Buddha's Dharma, he must learn from Bodhisattvas. Fear of cause and effect. Therefore, although I am eager to change my mind, I want to hide my identity and act secretly to avoid unnecessary trouble and right and wrong. It is not that I want to walk in brocade clothes at night and pretend to be cool.
Having said that, in Wuxu’s previous life, he hated the constant pretense and slaps in the face in those obscene novels. Why was it that he was born unable to practice, his family was discriminated against, he was molested and suppressed by the second generation of officials in the academy, and the women who had mutual feelings for each other were in the background. Very prominent, and then blessed by countless auras, various adventures, various counterattacks, or in the end, I am the one with the most background/background, and I continue to slap you in the face with all kinds of pretense... It is really too obscene, it seems It is full of revolutionary romanticism and heroism, but unfortunately it is completely ungrounded and not combined with historical materialism and realism. The result is like a dose of opium, which anesthetizes all living beings, confuses right and wrong, and resolves contradictions.
If you talk about it in a small way, the poison will be very widespread for others; if you talk about it in a big way, the consequences for yourself will be very heavy.
Along the way, Wuxu kept thinking about how he should act and act with less cause and effect as he silently sailed up the river in a boat. Because of changes in the East China Sea, every time he passed an island along the way, Wuxu had to visit it in person.
Just like looking for Xiaoliu on Peach Blossom Island, looking for the people living outside the Baotuo Temple in Naputuo Mountain.
Back then, he escaped from being chased by Miaoying from the Outer Sky Land that day and fled the East China Sea. He came to Putuo Island, which he had admired for a long time. At Baotuo Temple, he received instructions from Guanyin Bodhisattva and helped a group of monsters to regain their freedom. However, the East China Sea Monster Alliance has been secretly secretly
With a keen eye, those who accidentally leaked their identity and information were arrested and tortured and lured in various ways to find out the secret of easy transformation.
After being taught by Guanyin Bodhisattva, Wuxu naturally felt that he had a responsibility and obligation towards the monsters and their descendants guarding the temple in Baotuo Temple on Putuo Island. Although they were not very enlightened and left one after another at that time, they were still among the Buddhists after all.
People have been guarding temples for hundreds of years. Regardless of Buddhist karma or the so-called political credibility, Wuxu feels that he needs to do his best to prevent the monsters from wandering into the East China Sea and suffering misery.
In this way, Wuxu ordered the crew on the boat to stop and go, which took a lot of time. Fortunately, he found and rescued several people he had met at Baotuo Temple that day, recounted the past, proved his identity, and then
He took it to the boat and took it with him.
When the boat arrived at Putuo Island, Wuxu led these people up silently. Since then, Guanyin Bodhisattva manifested his dharma body, launched the Taoist formation, and fought against Zhao Haoran, Lu Zixu, Luo Gui and three others. Putuo Island, Bao
Tuo Temple has been preserved, but it is empty.
Looking at the overgrown Baotuo Temple, Wuxu and others were filled with emotion. They cleaned the temple with their own hands. Afterwards, they gathered together in the main hall and Wuxu kowtowed three times at the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, which showed signs of damage.
After bowing nine times, he turned around and said to those people, "There is no one to look after Guanyin Bodhisattva's dojo. This young monk is really uneasy. If anyone can stay in Baotuo Temple, I am willing to offer sacrifices to him."
Those people said one after another, "In the past, we didn't know it. Once we were able to practice, we left on our own. Now we know that Guanyin Bodhisattva is very kind and kind. Master Wuxu, please don't worry, we will stay and take care of you."
Then he followed Wuxu's previous actions and kowtowed three times and bowed nine times to the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva. In the main hall, people's figures suddenly shook and candlelight flickered.
When Wuxu saw this scene, he was also quite emotional. He couldn't help but think of Yao Shan Xinming and others in the sea conch. He put his hands together and said, "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva's dojo is spread all over the Saha world, like the sand of the Ganges River, there are hundreds of thousands of billions of them. I
If you meet me here by chance, it will be hard-won for hundreds of thousands of kalpas."
One of them suddenly asked timidly, "Master Wuxu, the forces of the East Sea Demon Alliance are everywhere. We, who have transformed into humans through the Bodhisattva's wonderful method, have always been regarded as monster prey. Why do we protect ourselves with the temple? Master, please show me your mercy."
.”
When Wuxu heard this, he suddenly thought of the action of Guanyin Bodhisattva in the Sea Sound Conch, who wanted to transfer the dojo to his own name. He clasped his hands together and replied, "Show joy and show your dharma body. Brothers, and
As a low-brow Bodhisattva, the young monk wishes to be a Vajra with angry eyes."
After saying that, he took out the dark red relic that he had obtained from the Dharma Realm and smashed it into the roof of the main hall, "This is the Buddha's relic, it can drive away evil spirits and eliminate demons!"
He also took out several pieces of Xingyun Bamboo and struck them on the lotus seat of Guanyin Bodhisattva, saying, "This is the lotus sword, which can destroy all enemies."
In his own Dharma Realm, he beat the wooden fish and lit the incense from the incense burner, which was transmitted to the main hall one by one. "The sound of the wooden fish and the incense from the copper burner, if there is any danger, the young monk will come by himself."
"Amitabha!" These monsters all announced the Buddha's name.
"Amitabha!" Wuxu responded loudly.
Was he just looking for trouble? Or was he trapped? When he returned to the ship, Wuxu did not enter the cabin. He kept looking at Putuo Mountain and thought quietly for a night. The Buddha's kindness is profound, and it is also cause and effect, and he still needs to repay it.
It's over, it's over.
If you want to cultivate the true Dharma Realm and the true Taoist field, they are all yours and they are all real. If you don’t return all the external causes and effects to Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, how can the truth come from you and how can you come to yourself?
Wuxu seemed to have a clear understanding. With this clear understanding, Wuxu ordered the crew on the boat to speed up and sail towards Zhoushan Port.
When he arrived at Zhoushan Port, Wuxu ordered the crew on board to dock for a night's rest. Then he flew ashore and walked around. Unconsciously, he came to the restaurant he had been to before and went up to the second floor.
I found a place by the window and ordered a pot of light bayberry wine and some vegetarian dishes.
After a while, there were gradually more people upstairs. Wuxu originally wanted to hear about the war situation on the mainland, but after listening carefully, they were all talking about the great changes in the East China Sea some time ago.
Overnight, there was blood in the sky, tsunamis continued, and earthquakes occurred one after another. In the early morning, not only the sea water was like blood, but also countless dead fish and shrimps, and the corpses of many strange undersea creatures were blown to the shore with the stinking wind.
side.
This caused great panic in Zhoushan. The government sent people out to sea one after another to investigate, but most of them never returned. Those who escaped by chance were also in a state of confusion, as if they were possessed by evil spirits.
Those Dongji Island monks who went to land to handle trivial matters flew back to the sea as soon as possible that night, and then flew back with bloodless faces and thanked them behind closed doors. Others saw that many of them were heading towards Pingjiang Mansion overnight.
Rush there. It seems like something big has happened.
After a few days, the news finally gradually spread, flying all over the sky, and the whole city was talking about it. However, Dongji Island disappeared, and everything with a radius of hundreds of miles from it became an inaccessible place of blood evil.
Although the people upstairs were drinking and talking, they all kept their voices down and looked around from time to time. Many people even secretly glanced at Wuxu from time to time, as if they mistook him for a member of the East China Sea Demon Alliance.
After all, the East Sea Monster Alliance is deeply rooted, intricately connected, and respected in the Zhoushan area. Now that Dongji Island has disappeared overnight under various omens, although everyone is worried and uneasy, they are still cautious when discussing it.
Wuxu listened quietly, poured a full glass of bayberry wine and put it on the table. He smiled faintly in his heart: Could it be that Zhao Haoran and others from the East Sea Demon Alliance have minds as big as the sea, and even monks are accepted as disciples and subordinates?
At this time, the sound of silk and bamboo suddenly sounded downstairs; for a moment, the voice of a young woman slowly stood out. The voice was soothing, lazy, and very charming, but the singing was somewhat stylized, hiding some clever tricks.
Wuxu listened carefully, and then his spiritual consciousness was released, and the expression on his face became richer for a moment. If he did not admit his mistake, the singer downstairs was the one who pestered him that day to "Guanyin Bodhisattva, show great mercy"
Widow Zhang’s daughter. She was deceived into innocence by that gangster Wang Xiaojiu that day. Widow Zhang couldn’t lose her face.
, I was instigated by others to make a fuss in the streets and restaurants, and I was bumped into by myself who had just received the favor of Guanyin Bodhisattva. I also saw the mother and daughter reciting the name of Guanyin Bodhisattva miserably in the mud on the ground.
, he followed the teachings of "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva's Universal Door" to eliminate Wang Xiaojiu who was still entangled with this woman.
"If there are countless hundreds of thousands of billions of sentient beings who are suffering from various sufferings and hear the name of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, they will chant its name with one heart. Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva will immediately listen to its sound and be liberated."
"When entering the sea, if the black wind blows on the boat, it will drift into the land of Rakshasa ghosts. If there is even one person among them who calls the name of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, all of them will be liberated from the difficulties of Rakshasa."
Unexpectedly, I would be here again. It seems that the little girl of the Zhang family has nowhere to go, but she is still here, and she even starts singing. But listening to her voice, her life does not seem to be very difficult and miserable, and it seems that she is not miserable. Consider it a liberation of liberation.
Wuxu was thinking silently. Suddenly, the voice of the little Zhang girl suddenly stopped, and there was a slight panic downstairs. It seemed that many people broke into the restaurant.
Then, I saw many demon cultivators, surrounded by some mortals, going straight up to the second floor. The demon cultivators stood in the middle of the second floor, each with an awe-inspiring aura, looking around at the diners with a sullen face. The mortals next to them, He immediately started to drink loudly, "The Immortal of the East China Sea is going to rest here for a while tonight. Fellow villagers, please do me a favor."
Those mortals stood up one after another, bowed their heads and shrank their waists, and walked quickly downstairs. Wuxu frowned, looked out the window, and checked his consciousness.
There were many ships docked at the port, and on each ship there were people directing the port coolies to carry things. And in the streets of Dinghai City, Zhoushan, there were suddenly a lot of hurried demon cultivators, and naturally, there were also some servants around them. Like mortals helping out. These demon cultivators and mortals are obviously members of the East China Sea Demon Alliance. They are usually stationed on various islands, but now they are swarming ashore. Some go straight to the high-walled courtyards of some wealthy local families, while others Heading towards all the good inns, restaurants, and brothels.
Suddenly, the streets and alleys of Dinghai City were half people and half demons. It would not be an exaggeration to call it a demon city.
Fortunately, Dinghai City is actually an important stronghold of the East China Sea Demon Alliance on the mainland. There are many demon cultivators coming in and out all year round, and the people are not surprised. In addition, although there are many demons entering the city, they are all mortals. They were accompanying each other and were relatively low-key and peaceful, so there was no chaos in Dinghai City, but the atmosphere became inexplicably tense and depressing.
Looking at the rush and the large and small packages, could it be that Ao Qing had arranged for the Third Prince of the Dragon King, Shen/Changqi, Nakajima Miyuki and others to start killing the East Sea Demon Alliance and uprooting it?
Wuxu slowly picked up the wine glass on the table and raised it in the direction of Peach Blossom Island. The dark red bayberry wine passed through the base of the tongue and down the throat, flowing silently in the body. Just as Ao Qing met him in Japan that day. As mentioned at the time, it is sweet and soothing to the throat, with a light aftertaste.
As the saying goes
The sea goes east and I go west, returning to the incense and love of Putuo.
The restaurant suddenly recalls the Pumen delicacies, enjoying the scenery with a glass of red bayberry.
